I think OP knows they can unscrew it.
That’s probably why it’s only ‘mildly’ infuriating.
I dunno, it’s kinda weird that they mention it’s “into the studs” as if it makes it a load-bearing spice rack. Just a weirdly irrelevant thing to say, makes me suspicious that OP thinks anything screwed into studs has to stay there forever or the house falls down.
The endless stream of repeated “unscrew it” comments is also mildly infuriating.
You mean mildly hilarious
This post is mildly infuriating. Unscrewing it is not even an “easy fix” it’s just plain and simple what you do.
Indeed. Everyone loves a pedant.
Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.
But it’s in the studs /s
so unscrew it. why is this such a huge problem?
Because screwdrivers are regulated, screwdriver licenses are hard to obtain, and while most people can do the clockwise thing, counterclockwise is a skill that takes years to master.
valid
It’s load bearing
load bearing spices actually sounds like a pretty slick band name
Because this is mildly infuriating not huge fucking problems?
I was just struck by ‘mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs’ like it’s been welded down. is that even mildly infuriating? pfft.
that’s an easy fix trust me I have so much mildly infuriating shit in my life
What you don’t have a screwdriver?
At least you can unscrew it. My landlord put the pipe for the Lüftung where the fridge is supposed to go.
Oh no, not the Lüftung again!
Ventilation, in German
I had a feeling (after Luft) - it just looked funny.
Attack of the Luftung! More at 11
Put it in the square hole
I loved this so much I went into your profile and upvoted some other comments.
I love you, let’s run away together.
Putting the oven right up against the fridge is the real problem here. Look at where the hood is.
I have no idea what I’m doing. Please say what you mean.
I know it can lower the lifespan of the fridge,, but unsure if there’s more than that!
Thanks I hadnt heard that
Yeah it can, it’s cause it makes the fridge have to do more work to keep the insides cool
No direct damage, but indirectly through making it work much harder for no reason
Seems extremely efficient to me.

Maybe it’s just tge perspective, but it looks like you could unscrew it, move the fridge in and then put it back in.
Probably can’t open the freezer with it in the way, or real close lol
You can swap the hinges on most fridges so the doors open the other direction

Even that’s not necessary. OP just put the wrong corner in first. Put the left side in first and rotate the right side in.
Unscrew it
Screw it
Bop It™️
twist it
Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it, snap it, work it, quick, erase it Write it, cut it, paste it, save it, load it, check it, quick, rewrite it Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, drag it, drop it, zip, unzip it

Show off
Yeah, you can even screw it back on after!

This is clearly a load bearing spice rack.
Yes, it’s mainly ground spices.
This implies the existence of air, sea, wall and ceiling spices
Step 1: Re-hinge the fridge doors so they open the other way.
Step 2: Back the fridge into the corner first, then pivot to the right until seated.
You can tell by the cabinetry, they had a fridge in there already, possibly one taller than this.
Just screw it.
Start with some wine, maybe a back rub. Get it all relaxed and then just slide into it
What are they cooking with they need to put that into a stud? Was it common for them to set their tungsten rolling pin atop and then hang their lead apron from the edge? Did they have a recipe that calls for a pinch of neutron star?
Mounting your spice rack to the studs is just sage advice. Otherwise, you’re putting the structural integrity at risk, and if that fails, you’re in for a bad thyme. Trust me, this happened to me once. There was still paprika in my grout when I moved out. And to add salt to the wound, the landlord made me pay for the damage.
Allspice racks mounted tomatoes would require your landlord to cumin to the kitchen to at least approve the modification.
I’ll get my mace.
That must be where they placed the weight of their sins
Its mounted into TWO studs
Gotta do some pullups on this thing.
That’s clearly a cat bed
That is brilliant
And the fridge is just a hair too tall to slide under the vent hood, so you can’t even go around it.
There’s so many things that are mildly infuriating here. And taken all together…. Still mildly infuriating.
Quality post. I’m gonna kick back and be grateful I don’t have any appliances to move in my near future.
I mean, just unscrew the screws?
I dunno man. Sounds mildly infuriating to have to go get a screwdriver, come back and try unscrewing it only to realize you need a power tool because it is in the studs. Go get the drill, damnit battery is dead. Damnit extra battery is dead because I hardly use this damn thing.
I rely on ratcheting screwdrivers because I won’t be assed over batteries.
If the battery for your impact driver (not drill, BTW) isn’t shared with a bunch of other tools from the same brand, you’re doing it wrong.
You know, that’s true actually - I retract my statement
Just tilt the fridge backwards before moving it in.
WTF. Even if the previous occupants had a short fridge, who wants a spice rack over the fridge. Just bizarre
Not bizarre if they kept stuff on top of the (shorter) fridge and within reach that’s used regularly.
Stove doesn’t have 1.5ft clearance on either side, not up to code
Can’t say I’ve ever seen a kitchen stove with 1.5ft of clearance in any home.

Just move the spice board to a different place?
I’m proud of you for only being mildly infuriated. I would smash it with a fucking hammer.
Or you could unscrew the fucking thing and move it somewhere else, but I’ll let you sort that out with your anger management therapist.
If moving a spice rack is infuriating to OP I can’t imagine how cushy their day-to-day life is
Having a shitty day-to-day life tends to make minor inconveniences extra infuriating, and vice versa.
Tear down the house.
Nah it would still be occupying the same space as the fridge
The floor is really ugly right there but the fridge can go in a different spot. I already have enough drywall work
If you slid the left side of the fridge in first, it would fit fine.
The fridge is 29 and 3/8 deep and the rack is mounted about 28.5 from the wall so no, it won’t fucking fit. I’ll remove the rack, for everybody out there. Or I’ll put the fridge a bit further from the stove
And then just never open the freezer door I guess
Who’d need that anyway.
It would swing out just fine.
Uh no. It looks like the spice rack is in the space that the fridge needs to occupy anyway, and if it somehow isn’t, it would block the door.
The only thing mildly infuriating about this post is knowing that fridge would fit. So, I guess, good job! I’m now mildly infuriated.
